The skulldagger is one of the seventeen sword types available to players in the game. It is produced at iron mongers. On subscription oceans, the skull dagger may only be used by subscribers.

It is often considered to be one of the more powerful swords with a good drop pattern and beginner friendly usage. The skulldagger excels in jamming the middle of the board with both small and large sprinkle attacks. Due to its strong alternating sprinkles, it is known to be a very hard counter to the Scimitar. However, the skull's strike attacks are much weaker than striking swords such as the Falchion and consequently should not be used to send big strikes. The skulldagger shares a lot of similarities with the Poniard, but is strictly better than it in every aspect.

Pirates that love to play fast paced sprinkle games should equip themselves with a skulldagger.
